Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most iconic views of the Makran coastline and the unique Hammerhead peninsula of Gwadar as the aircraft maneuvers for landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🛣️

Makran Coastal Highway

The thin ribbon of asphalt winding through one of the world's most scenic desert coastal routes.

🏖️

Pishukan Coastline

Beautiful views of the western bays where the desert sands meet the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea.

🦈

Hammerhead Peninsula

The massive Koh-e-Batil plateau which gives Gwadar its distinctive hammerhead shape on the map.

🚢

Gwadar Deep Water Port

Aerial perspective of the modern port infrastructure and cargo ships docked at the terminal.

This side is essential for seeing the 'Hammerhead' rock formation. During the winter months, the air is much clearer, providing unobstructed views of the horizon where the desert meets the sea. Late afternoon flights offer a golden glow over the sedimentary cliffs.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Kech River Valley

The winding riverbed and date palm groves that define the oasis of Turbat immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Makran Coastal Range

Dramatic, jagged sedimentary rock formations that look like a lunar landscape from above.

🌊

Gwadar East Bay

The shimmering waters of Demi Zirr and the bustling fishing activities near the shore.

Watch for the stark contrast between the desert peaks and the deep blue of the Arabian Sea. Early morning flights are ideal as the low sun angle creates long shadows, highlighting the sharp textures of the mountain ridges.
